I agree that this is a better solution for the book if it works. There is some internal configure code that searches for clang. If is does work, I'm not sure CXX is required for cups. I quick look does not show any c++ or cpp files. > A note in the book to this effect would be useful. > > I also ran into a similar problem when compiling mysql but I haven't > solved that yet.

I'd also like to then drop mysql, but that requires a bit more discussion. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
